Shocking figures.
I think it was in the Dom this morning that one letter writer suggested that all benefits should be lodged on a card so it would restrict how that money could be spent. The kids would see more benefit from it.

I like your sig Cicero

I'm pretty sure that scheme ran for way less than fifteen years.

1128174 2010-08-17 12:09:00 Last election I voted NZ First. Apparently not enough agreed with me however I will continue to vote the way I see it.

Time to start a new party methinks.
The Snorkbox party has a good ring to it.

1128175 2010-08-17 12:10:00 It was before that as I remember the increase being an extra 1/6d or 6d in the pound so it was before decimal currency.
The pre decimal one was different.

1128177 2010-08-17 12:17:00 Also they seem to have a little division in the ranks at the moment for some reason.
and who is that woman they have just dumped as deputy leader. O yeah it was Heather Roy.

1128178 2010-08-17 12:34:00 Quite amazing you would dump the leader on whos coat tails you came in on the election.
The party I would love to start would be called The New Zealand Shooters, Fishermen and Motorist party.
Stop commercial fishing near coast, loosen up gun laws heaps, self defence laws sorted out, cut tax on fuel, no gst on any taxes that sucks, cheaper rego, drop all tax except gst on liquor. No tax on fuel for boats and off road. Immigration to be curtailed, no refugees, build more prisons ,anyone not born here commits crime is deported, get some fighter bombers Russians one like Sukhoi would be all good.
My campaign ditties would be: "You poor bastards need me" " Ill see you right, right in the ****"

1128181 2010-08-17 21:10:00 i just say that people have to adj approp no matter how much income they may of received in the past.

Maintaining their prev lifestyle is not viable.
It's also mentality, I've worked with those on 60k incomes and they have a $4k car. I've cut mine right back, after deciding to spend some months doing another qualification and just accept my $165/week student loan.
